Thanks guys lots to think about. Was just looking at rod racks as well as I have a few loose rods for canal surface and light lure fishing. Not sure whether to stand them up or have them running along the roof.

Screwfix do a decent metal racking system. I've got a couple, about £25. Ideal for tackle storage

I had a custom tackle shed built back in the day and it had steel mesh / insulated inner to provide sledgehammer security and insulation. Also had a contact breaker on the locks with an alarm and a PIR lamp over the door . . .suffice to say no scumbags ever broke in . . .
Main prob with sheds IMO is damp & mice . . .put a liner / old carpet on the floor and line out the inside if you can.
Def put mice traps and poison down and always keep bait in metal buckets / and or hung from the rafters etc.
Mice are ****s and can get in anywhere - I've done the above but had bedchairs ruined as they've gone for dust like particles of boilie crumb in the seams . . so again, keep these on hooks / off the deck wherever possible.

As well as some shelving, until I moved my tackle into the coal house inside my house for security, I used to keep my tackle in supermarket cage trolleys, the ones that they take deliveries in from the wagons and into the warehouse. They stand about 5 foot high, and about 3 foot wide.
Just one I found was large enough to store all my carp tackle on that I currently use including bivvy and bed apart for a few bits like buckets and food bags and rod holdhall. I would park them up with the open side against the shed wall and then lock them up so it made it just a bit harder for a robbing b******d to get your stuff without making a hell of a racket, I also had a hole drilled in the wheel and would put an ABLOY padlock through it to stop it being wheeled away, those locks cannot be picked without great difficulty and not by the average scrote, have duplicate keys made, cannot be cut with an angle grinder or bolt croppers and have to be burnt off with a blow torch. When we had one at work that would not open, the fire section used to have to give up trying to remove it and get the workshops to burn it off so not really any good for bankside or away from home use in case you loose the key. It was then just a case of open the shed door, unlock the cage, wheel it out the shed straight to the car and load up, leave the trolley where it is and on return just load it up again and wheel baqck into the shed.
It made life so simple. And once you had got a system of loading it, you then build shelves in it and then it makes life easier to load.
These days though, I use a normal supermarket trolley, with a shelve underneath the main compartment for more storage space as a lot do not have one, to wheel stuff about in and if I did keep my stuff in the outside shed, all my carp tackle would fit in two of them as that is how many times I have to fill one to load and unload the car.
I "FOUND" my cage trolley one night outside a large building in its car park and oddly enough they do pull apart without tools, rather noisily and fit in the back of a car as well very easy which I did for safe keeping in case someone stole it. Same with the normal trolley, but the large ones are a struggle to fit in a car boot discretely as they go in with a clatter and a struggle and you need to do your homework and rehersals before hand to make sure it will fit, plus they are heavy and awkward to handle when you lift them sideways off the ground. A van would be handy.
But for anyone who wants one and cannot "FIND" a cage trolley, they sell them on EBAY for about £30 to £50.

Is that a Korda Kage?

Use the supports/uprights in there to build your own. I built in bottom storage along the side of shed where I could get my hold-all in etc etc and then did the same to the top. Then left me with about 4ft where I built in the same across the back of the shed. I guessed folk could still get to my tackle from the outside of the shed if they wanted to but to combat this I put batons along to prevent them from reaching in to get stuff through.

I've got a couple of draper multi drawer Storage boxes on the wall, the type they do for screws etc with different sizes of drawers. Really handy for storing spare spools, line, lures, bits of end tackle that would otherwise get thrown in a box or bucket.

zack. that cage trolley idea is genius. Im definitely going to do that. it solves two problems.
one. my garage if very full. 4 bikes, wheelie bins,tumble dryer , freezer,filing cabinet. power porter,
beds and bag for 3 people. plus my fishing kit.
to top it off the floor is often soaked as the back is built into the ground. so have stuff on wooden pallets. and its like a game of Jenga. a cage trolley or two can go in the corners keeping stuff off the ground and be quick to move around.

I actually also fancied one of the smaller ones as well that they store milk on, they come with 4 shelves but could never get my hands on one. They would be ideal, but no good for storing a bed or bivvy on.
Its also possible if you approached a supermarket manager, they might have some damaged ones they want rid off.

If you use facebook, have a look on the facebook market place mate. I managed to buy a chest freezer for £35, its old and battered but works fine so its perfect for a bait freezer in the garage.
